Loss of Confidence

Loss of Confidence
July 19, 2012
http://president.blogs.uua.org/liberal-religion/loss-of-confidence/

In my last entry I talked about the rapid rise of the “nones”—people who express no religious affiliation.

Another fascinating trend is the unsteady and slow decline in the confidence Americans have in organized religion. ...

...This is a volatile and vulnerable time for all religious groups. It is also a time rich with possibility. I am absolutely convinced that we Unitarian Universalists have more potential than others. We have a message of openness and tolerance. We work for compassion and justice in the world. We offer a spiritual home that nurtures growth and safe exploration. Our challenge is to seize this opportunity.
